Honestly, it's not about how other stutterers accept these statements from their peers. You feel a certain way about this. How you feel about your stutter is specific to you. I think a lot of us have/had similar feelings. So, to answer your question, "Yes, we've felt a way about people commenting on our stutter." I'm of the mind that the stutter can be part of a self-feeding cycle. Anxiety can be another part. As can receiving well-meant sentiment negatively. You can work on all of those things: You can receive people's words as they meant them, instead of making them into something different than what was offered. You can learn to manage anxiety better. You can work towards fluency. Damn. I'm reading what I just typed, and it sounds harsh. My apologies. I believe all of us can improve. That we can affect positive change in our own lives.
